Their artist pseudo name is Retrophiliac which means lover of past things . “ I am very inspired by the 60s , 70s , 80s and 90s and it is reflected in all of my work and even my personal style . I came to make a change for many people are not just myself . I find strength in my work and the overlap of my activism , advocacy and art .” ~ Margaux Wosk
